You have named some random interests that have nothing in common, how are we supposed to tell you ?
medicine
I’m 27m I have done engineering but I just made my mind to pursue my career in it I just enrolled in a coding program but still I’m confused that have I made right decision?
If you want to get rich, find a marketing/business friend, find a product design friend, come up with 10 ideas for startups, execute on all of them to some degree, try to get acquired, do it over and over, even if you fail most of them. If you can code, you can do it
“To become as rich as possible”
To provide as much **value** as possible.
Change your mindset, or you will never achieve that goal.
1) Focus on one interest ( the most lucrative one) and become an expert in that
2) Level up your skill set in that field (degree, experience, certifications, course, mentor, books etc)
3) Learn how to market and sell your skills
and expertise. – add value to the market
I switched careers at like 28-29, went in to the electricla field. Gonna be loaded in a couple years
Study so hard, get good grades, network and get internships.
It depends on what your passion is. I love General Finance & Stock Market. But I studied Software Development. What would you enjoy doing most for the rest of your life?
Definitely invest in something like the sp500, if you done that from 18 to 27 $200 a month you’d have 32k, if you stopped investing and let it sit there for another 30 years you’d have 558k
This is the compound interest at the assumption of an average 10% growth per year, this is better than saving money in the long term.
Practically guaranteed to be rich albeit you’ll be old, it’s got an average rate of 10% from like 1910 or something so it’s always bounced back from every major world event like ww1, ww2, Great Depression, 2008 crash, cold war etc…
You should leverage the coding interest. Try to get into a software based field like SWE, data analysis, UI/UX. College isn’t required for that but can help. Though the market is over saturated. If CS doesn’t work out then try a trade.
I’ve seen friends start out as a cashier at a supermarket and made their way up to an assist store manager . By the time he was 35 , he got promoted to general manager, making 150 to 200 grand a year plus bonuses. My friend has just a high school degree.
It’s all depends what you want to do in life. When you have nothing but have high standards. So lower your standards and work from the bottom and work your way up.
I’ve seen plenty people started part time in a supermarket and hated the job and when they change their values and started working for more.
Nursing man it’s cheap and you’ll be making over 100k after 1 year of experience. Just look for local travel contracts where you live and take the higher paying one make connections when you go to the hospitals and boom you’ll get rich fast. My gf and I both do this and we aren’t millionaires but we do have our home, cars paid off so we really have no bills. I even got my younger nurse friends doing this now and they are loving life nursing has such great work life balance 3 on 4 off and job security too it’s deff worth it. I mean if every job in the world sucks and I say this because most jobs I look at that are not nursing there is always someone saying how bad it sucks in some way. So I figure it’s best to pick a job that sucks but will give you the freedom and money that most ppl want.
When I was in school for computer science, I had a 35 year old classmate.
The guy always sat at the very front of each class, asked the most questions out of everyone, chatted up with the professors any chance he could.
The guy was not very intelligent. He’d hold up the class with simple questions because he struggled to understand basic concepts like loops or arrays. It took him twice as long as other to understand OOP concepts.
Me and a couple of my peers would joke about how much of annoying keener he is.
Fast forward a few years later, he has a very good CS job and me and my friends are either unemployed or have irrelevant jobs.
The hard lesson I learned was that even if it comes off as cringe or annoying at first, if you really take a passion and enthusiasm in what it is that you are pursuing, you will eventually find success.
Tai Lopez’s 69 steps will make you a multi-millionaire. But remember, it’s not about the materialistic things, it’s about KNAAWLEDGE.
Quit my job and start my career…take bold chances. I was young and had nothing to lose
Save money each month till retirement. Don’t half ass relationships or marriage. Put in the work. Fight for it.
Software engineering + finance go together in a lot of jobs and they pay very well, but learning finance is a totally different ball game than liking it. I enjoy finance too, but trying to complete the one economics course I decided to take made me want to blow my head off.
Unless you’re truly gifted in cooking or fashion I’d choose one of the practical interests like coding and finance. You will need to go back into school to get a job in those fields. You can either find a really cheap online university or do a bridging path from community college to a big local state university. Try your hardest to avoid student loan debt.
You could always start an Instagram or TikTok for fun on the side to promote your other interests and be creative. Some people (some as in very few) make absolute bank doing social media + brand deals.
Internet money. Leverage. Scale.
Buy more real estate
Computer science degree.
Nothing. What’s done is done
At 27 I was one year out of the Navy, working as an instrumentation technician and going to college for electrical engineering. I got my BS degree, an engineering job and worked through an MBA. I wouldn’t do it any differently.
If I could go back to 18 I’d be a traditional student earning the same education. It would’ve been a lot easier.
Anyway, 27 isn’t too late to start. I just turned 50 and I already have enough saved to retire.
Become a military officer. By 47, you can retire with a nice pension. It’s secure (no layoffs) and between pay, BAH, VA loans, and other possible pay, you can save/invest plenty.
Or I apply to MBA schools sooner and avoid the double layoffs that hit me since 2020
